December 20, 2012 // 5:45 am - Following up on the PS3 Save Game Tools Pack by Flat_z, today PlayStation 3 developer K.G 971 has released a PS3 Save Resigner and updates below that allow the resigning of game save files for retail OFW or on CFW from any regions and any accounts.

To quote: Hi guys this is a PS3 save resigner. Thanks to flat_z for his amazing work. The games.conf is from aldostool. This is just for people who needs an easier way to use flat_z's tool. Credit goes to flat_z for his pfdtool.

You can resign any saves from any regions to any regions. From any accounts to any accounts. You can also remove the copy-protection.

It's easy to use, and very user-friendly. It works for Retail PS3. All you have to do is search for the keys on Internet (watch the video).

Updates: PS3 Save Resigner v1.1 homebrew application is now available (linked above) and includes the following updates:

added an option for modders: Decrypt the entire game save folder. It decrypts the game save folder for you, then it waits for you to mod what you want in it, and then it recrypts and resigns it.

How it works:

Follow the video exept that instead of clicking "resign", you will click decrypt. Then , once you are done modding, click "Encrypt & Resign". Done. You can still select the first way if you are not planning to mod the file, just hit "Resign".

PS3 Save Resigner 1.3 Changelog:

Added some features

Added "Copy params of a specified game" option: To all those who were getting corruption errors (Tekken ect..), this version may fix them.

Make sure to select the "Copy params of a specified game" option, and load the PARAM.SFO of your version of the game that you try to resign a save to.

Decrypt option updated: When you decrypt a game save folder, it's now in the folder "Decrypted Save Folders".

Attempt to fix the XP problem.

PS3 Save Resigner 1.4 Changelog:

Fixed Windows XP problems. Now it works for everyone. BIG thanks to RuiGR for his great help.

Note: the games.conf is updated regularly by aldostools, so i will update the new file each times in the "dropbox folder". You will have to replace the old one by the updated one in the tool's folder.

How to Use Someone Else's PS3 Game Save Guide - Liberating Your PS3 Game Save from gingerbread:

Method 1 - Pseudo Save Resigning

Step 1: You have to be on CFW to perform these steps. Open PARAM.SFO in any Hex Editor (i.e HxD, Hex Workshop, Ultra Edit and etc.). It does not matter which hex editor you use because all can represent data in raw and have copy/paste/find options which are sufficient.

Step 2: The "Account ID" which identifies Your user account and PSN. The Account ID always starts at (0x140) and always have 16 bytes and the length is 10.

Step 3: Replace it with your values and you have to do it twice. First at 0x140. The second offset address is somewhere in the file. Use Search and use the original value to perform a search and replace it. The address of 2nd "Account ID" is constant only with the same game save title, it's different for different games.

Step 4: The Second ID is "console id" which identifies Your console (don't mislead it with IDPS). It also have 16 bytes and also is not on constant offset.

Step 5: Third ID is user number account (for example: for "dev_hdd0/home/00000001/" will be 01)). In the example above, it is 48. There are in two position that 48 is.

Step 6: You can't simply copy back your save using XMB. It will most likely give you an error. You have to FTP back to your save folder and overwrite the files.

Note: The method works most of the time but could result in corrupted saves. If the game is design to regenerate a new save, it usually creates a new working save.

Method 2 - Fake Save Data Owner

Info: Only available in Debug FW or Rebug's CFW.

Info: Allows use of save data from other users and displays a warning message at every load/save during the game. Once a save data has been saved with this features activated, that save couldn't be read with this function deactivated.

Off: deactivate the Fake Save Data Owner function.

On: activate the Fake Save Data Owner function.

Note: There is a notification of the "Caution: Fake Save Data Owner On" every-time when any game is saving. It can be very annoying.

Step 1: Use FTP to transfer a file name xRegistry.sys from your CFW PS3 to your PC (located at /dev_flash2/etc/)
Step 2: Useing Hex Editor application to open a file named PARAM.SFO from any of your save data. Go to offset 140 you'll see your PSN account serial in a 16 digits format, copy that 16 digits and paste it somewhere (notepad or something). Look at Method 1.
Step 3: Open xRegistry.sys with the xRegistry editor (I recommend you to BACKUP the file before you edit it)

Note: Now you suppose to be able to share your save data (that locked to PSN ID) between the 2 PS3s like they're the same machine. You can also hack the game with cheat PKG or other solutions on CFW PS3 and then transfer the save to OFW PS3 and continue collecting trophies with hacked saves.

Commercial method: Game Genie for PS3 (thegamegenie.com/ps3/ -and- forum.thegamegenie.com/viewforum.php?f=8) is a save editor. The main function of this product is to modify your saves. There is also a secondary function to Resign your someone else's save and make it yours. It even works for copy-protected saves (You need CFW).

5) Press "Save Keys" (So you don't have to enter on startup)
6) Copy over *YOUR* save data from the PS3.
7) Locate "Enter Private Keys".
8) Either enter the values in yourself or load YOUR param.sfo from YOUR Save.
9) Now click save Profile (As either 01, 02, or 03)
10) On the tabs, go back to "Save Resigner"
11) Go to File > Open > Locate Modded Save Data
12) After mod save is loaded, you can change region by editing the Game ID.
13) (Don't edit the Console, Account, or User ID's)
14) Now select a profile to resign to.
15) Either decrypt the save and then edit and re-encrypt and resign OR...
16) Simply click "Resign" and use it.
17) Sometimes it still says corrupt after resign so you need to copy params.

FIXING CORRUPT ISSUES

1) Check the box of copy params of a specific game.
2) If you get an error, you need to install msvr100.dll (Link Below)
3. Now select "Resign", and it MAY fix the corrupt issue.

Finally, from Red-EyeX32 (via atreyu187) comes a The Evil Within Save File Editor (linked above) with details below, as follows:

So I am running through this game again on the hardest difficulty and seem to run out ammo. So I went looking for a cheat pkg but could only find them for the BLES variants of the game. I think this is due to the fact the "scene" releases are all PAL so nothing for folks like me that bought the NTSC-U variant till now.... Thanks to Red EyeX32 for making this awesome save file editor. It doesn't allow "God Mode" which is a plus in my mind as I sill like a little challenge even cheating.

ALL CREDITS TO Red-EyeX32 - The Evil Within Save Editor

NOTE: YOU NEED A CFW TO REMOVE THE PROTECTION ON THE SAVE

From author's words: Today I'm bringing you guys a save editor for the game 'The Evil Within'. This will allow you to modify your weapons and the ammo, it will also allow you to modify the amount of items you have in your inventory.

All of this wouldn't of been possible without the help of kill_seth. Make sure you make a backup. Please report any problems to me immediately!

Also when saving make sure that two message boxes appear before closing the app because it won't fix the hashes and save the changes!

NOTE: YOU NEED A CFW TO REMOVE THE PROTECTION ON THE SAVE (This is sort of true, you need CFW to backup the save, the app decrypt and recrypt the save file)

Simply open multiMAN/IRISMAN File Manager and get the save file from the following location /dev_hdd0/home/00000001/savedate/NPUB31392-GAMES-SLOT_X (for NTSC-U BLUS variant) I prefer IRISMAN as it shows exactly which game you are looking at by displaying the ICON0.PNG of which file you are dealing with.

Make sure you backup the original save file before modding your save file. Then once edited just simply overwrite the old save file (keeping your backup safe just in case) start your game and enjoy!!!

From what I seen, when trying to get it to work, the cheat list is preloaded in the package and seems pretty up to date. Hopefully the author will update it when needed or at least give the info needed for DIY.
